Sometimes you just have to drop off the face of the earth to start your own journey. There's too much noise and people out there that will grab at your ankles to steer you off your own lane.
Damn. Homie was physically crushing BUD/S, putting in the grind....but then he spoke to some folks who quit, and succumbed that mental pressure. That's so wild and sad.
We learn from our failures. This is the essence of BUD/S and SEAL training yet done to the extreme. As you've shown us, Jake, the instructors will beat you down, you will fail but does a man have the gumption to push through the failures and keep going? This young man was facing more of a maturity issue and lost his focus. Whether he gets another shot or not, he should take the lesson learn and let it assist him with his life going forward. He learned a lot about mental toughness he can take from this. Class young man.
Outstanding segment. I'm glad Noah landed an awesome gig in the fleet. He could have been chipping paint, but rescue diver is pretty bad ass in itself. I'm glad we still have young guys still willing to put it all on the line. Semper Fi.
Many kids today don't know how to suffer and embrace the suck. Noah said it best "They don't owe you anything." You have to earn everything you get, a little luck doesn't hurt. Grit is an intangible trait, you earn grit through adversity and going through hard things and it isn't something that can be faked. Hard times make hard men, success surrounds themselves with success and rejects the notion of failure.
Jake awesome video, love the motivation i get witching them, im 60 and i train like im preparing to go to BUD/S!!!!!! Thank god for 800 motrin, keep up these great videos
Outstanding interview shipmate! You’re turning into the “Grampaw Pettibone” for the NSWC! Keep up the great work and I wish that young man all the best!
Jake don’t say you’re an old person Sir! I’m 59 and aside from my 26 years still on the mat, still on the pull-up bars, I was listening to this episode while skateboarding at my local park!
@@jakezweig Once that doubt crept in, it became a wedge that separated him from his goal. However, sounds like he's got a good gig now and doing well there. Great interview.
Man jakes a gritty ass guy lots of guys don’t make it through the first time you crushed it I wish there was a documentary on your class but as I’ve heard you say you would’ve got court marshaled lmao big fan of you man!
Damn bro... Noah! U had it man...idc what anyone says dude, this guy here has what it takes... It's not his friends fault for him ringing out, but, it's also safe to say, those aren't really his friends either... "Misery Loves Company".... dude had what it took, just associated with the wrong team... Do it again bro.
Has to be the hardest gut punch to admit something you think you wanted to be for years was just a dream and not reality.. Takes real guts to admit it and not waste yours and others time. ✌️🇺🇲🍻
Totally think so too. He's got the proper mindset now. Look at Class 234, it took Rivera three times to get thru. I don't think you can go thru more than twice now though.
He's a nice kid, he doesn't seem like a killer tbh ...but there will be a good job for him somewhere/he has a good one already, in fact its probably perfect for him he's still got time to mature and tbh saving people as a SAR swimmer is probably ideal for his personality.
@@jorges2112 We’re in peacetime so maybe you might be right, highly doubt it though. I’m sure the teams guys at least have something in them most don’t. Call it a killer instinct, serious grit, or whatever you want. Navy seals, marines, army soldiers, some airforce pilots, kill. Name of the fuckin game. Yea you got other aspects to it like surveillance, search and rescue, but c mon. This is military. You either got it if you don’t in my opinion, don’t want guys out there slipping, choking majorly in combat. You sound soft tbh, killers are the reason we have our freedom.
@@TheRealChrisBeard it’s not a peacetime/wartime thing. It’s just a really cringy way of looking at these kind of things. I don’t know what kind of person they need. I don’t know who makes it. But I know that it’s probably not like the movies or like podcasts or whatever. The people I’ve actually met don’t seem like killers. The only thing that stands out is how calm they were, like dudes just super in control of themselves.
Everything I did in the Marines and growing up wrestling over a decade prepared my mind for anything. Love it when you talk wrestlers and their mindsets
Poor Guy. After a few years in the fleet he would have had the maturity to handle the mental end. Fleet to Buds is apparently difficult to pull off at the moment. I hope he makes it back.
@@joshp146waste of time because if you don’t make it your in the navy again for another 4 years, you have to have outstanding pst times to get to buds from the fleet.
No shame in not making it. Learn from it and go find something you're good at that suits you. You'll be happier and more fulfilled in the long run. Or, try again.
Agreed with the other comments that this kid seems like he can earn his second shot - he knows where he failed, and if he decides that he wants it, he'll get it. I think he knows to keep his world small the next time around.
I'm a BUD/S Class 234 graduate. The toughest parts for me were being camera shy and dealing with my classmate, Don Shipley. He never believed any of our stories.
@@jakezweig This was a troll comment. Class 234 was the one that a whole TV series was made about. Don Shipley is a former seal and CZcamsr who exposes people who falsely claim to be SEALS.
@@MsRotorwings It was a researched troll. Although Shipley wasn't in 234, I used that number because it was the class from the famous A&E BUD/S documentary,, thus the camera-shy reference. Do your homework.
So glad I’m going in with a good mindset don’t worry ima buy that PDF and I will be talking to you soon remember my name I come from nothing and I promise WITH ONLY GOD I WILL BECOME A NAVY SEAL
I appreciate this info and took many notes. I’m 24 and still need to go to MEPs and get a good asvab score, but I want to be a navy seal. My life has not been a super hard struggle, but I’ve been through a lot, many hard workouts and mentally I feel I’ve built a callus. I can tolerate a lot and push through a lot. Spent some time at the Military Marine Academy in Harlingen Tx. My HS football team was pretty good for our size, and I’d say my workouts there were harder than most schools. Been on some serious bike rides, against the wind, legs burning, walked/ran many miles, strength good through moving jobs. Haven’t really hit the weights like I was doing in HS but I’ve maintained my strength and probably got stronger in different areas. I don’t have the money for how I want to eat. Slim. So I don’t lift much weights cuz I see it as burning a lot of calories. Great calisthenics. I can swim, want to be a lot better though. Hopefully I get in. Want it badly. To add to this video, honestly dude seemed to not tell the whole story. If you were exhausted by Friday, say that, don’t blame it on ur friends. If you were taken care of by ur parents, and went from a super comfortable household, straight to bud/s, say that. You let out the obvious you probably weren’t mature enough. No shame in that and completely understandable. But there’s more to it bro. You may not have really wanted it, you didn’t prep enough mentally. Idgaf what anyone says, you’re a great guy, just may not have had that grit and killer instinct. Reason the vast majority don’t make through 1st phase. The attention to detail through other phases is a different story.. That’s complete honesty. Best of luck to you and thanks again for the info.
I know you get really wired in a BUDS day to where it’s difficult to sleep because your in that sleep deprivation mode. Can you get melatonin to make yourself sleep?
I was in Zweigs class (217) then rolled back to 218 and probably in the top 10% physically, however like they say, buds is mental and that El Niño 98’ cold got me. Probably biggest regret but good times
If he didn’t make it at that level ( a much higher level than dudes who have made it) do you think he could ever grow into that mind set because he was lacking mental. Do you think you can train mental?
I think with a mature mindset and more grit this guy could do well going back through...this is the first interview you have done Jake where I've thought that. I mean he looks like Instructor Pastone (of Class 234 fame) with that stache. haha!
Absolutely right, surround yourself with like minded people only! Dont listen to those who moved on and didnt commit! Ignore that noise, persevere, drive forward, front sight, trigger squeeze!
What is the deal with BUDS contracts? A couple of years ago my wife was in crossfit with a young guy that enlisted on a buds contract and he was back home in about six months after he quit. As far as I can tell he was in first phase, I never got the full story. In the old days when I was in the Navy you had to have at least 4 years on your contract, I think Corpsmen even had to have 6 years, just to go to buds. If you failed, as just about everybody does, you had to do the rest of your contract in the fleet. I guess that isn't the case any more?
His buddies definitely took him down. Damn that was tough, “don’t talk to a quitter”
Leave them dudes alone
Take balls to say it like it is. Thank you 🙏
He did a great job!!!!!?
“Show me your friends and I’ll show you your future”
Sometimes you just have to drop off the face of the earth to start your own journey. There's too much noise and people out there that will grab at your ankles to steer you off your own lane.
Legend has it Noah’s eyebrows finished BUDS
Damn. Homie was physically crushing BUD/S, putting in the grind....but then he spoke to some folks who quit, and succumbed that mental pressure. That's so wild and sad.
Morale is important
Be a glass is half full kind of guy for your own sake
As so he says
Do you really want somebody like that on your SEAL team who can’t take that pressure
Is that instructor Pastone’s son?
Became super

they should have given him his trident just for looking like a young instructor Patstone
Even his eye brows look like mustaches.
Hurry up don’t fall back.

“ hey stud boy “ 😂
He's got that Chief's Stache going on!
A great young American man. I appreciate your service! 🇺🇸
Great video Jake! Thank you Noah for relating your experience! Good luck 🍀 in your Navy career!
Much love and respect to Noah 💪🏾 great things are coming buddy!
Fist bump
This has definitely been one of the best interviews you have done!
Totally agree
Thank you both Im working on making them better man
Awesome interview, a lot of respect to you guys for serving our country with honor!
Thank you
You have an important job now. Be proud of yourself.
Absolutely
Love these videos man!!! Keep ‘em comin brother👍
Jake awesome video, love the motivation i get witching them, im 60 and i train like im preparing to go to BUD/S!!!!!! Thank god for 800 motrin, keep up these great videos

Thank you man!!!!
these are the best vids so much to learn from!
That's awesome, he's in Aircrew. He decided to quit 1 thing and succeed in another. Great interview .
One of the best I have heard.
Great show !
Failure is not failure if you learn a lesson. You never know how telling your personal story can help the next person succeed
Its a been a while since these face to face chats. Love the videos, huge inspiration!
I'm working on a better deal
Jake don’t say you’re an old person Sir! I’m 59 and aside from my 26 years still on the mat, still on the pull-up bars, I was listening to this episode while skateboarding at my local park!
I love it man!!!!!!!!
I like these videos. I try to watch these for motivation and focus to achieve when I'm tired or feeling weak I remember these stories. Great videos.
Glad they are helping you
Just cowboying up and going to buds is awesome.
Noah was a stud definitely the fastest in class and good person, good friend
These are great lessons that all of us can learn from. Failure is the best teacher. Thanks for doing these interviews Jake!
We killing in this shit that happened by accident
@@jakezweig Once that doubt crept in, it became a wedge that separated him from his goal. However, sounds like he's got a good gig now and doing well there. Great interview.
Get after it Jake. Awesome conversation.
Thanks man !!!!! Dude did an amazing job
BOOM.... there it is.. thanks 2 both of U for the info
21 looking 30 thanks for the story boss 💪🏼
Excuses he's pampered, he's not willing to die for the cause , he's much happier in his here and now...
Man jakes a gritty ass guy lots of guys don’t make it through the first time you crushed it I wish there was a documentary on your class but as I’ve heard you say you would’ve got court marshaled lmao big fan of you man!
These videos are huge, thanks bro
Eat brother eat
If this dude goes for it again, I'm confident he can make it. Go for it!
Only time will tell
He needs grit and he ain’t got it
Amazing give all you can and more !!
Damn bro... Noah! U had it man...idc what anyone says dude, this guy here has what it takes... It's not his friends fault for him ringing out, but, it's also safe to say, those aren't really his friends either...

100000000000% I commend him
@@jakezweig yes Sir.. Grown man sh*t.. 👍✌️
this guy can cut it, if you get another opportunity brother go get it!!!
The mental game is the game
I dig it Sir....
respect for attempting man, it dont hurt to go try the rangers bro!
Crazy he looks exactly like my friend in the army. I live in Austin Tx also, ive tried living in Milwaukee that cold is a different beast.
I hope they give him another shot. He seems like he can make it after maturing a bit.
Totally think so too. He's got the proper mindset now. Look at Class 234, it took Rivera three times to get thru. I don't think you can go thru more than twice now though.

BOOOOOOM
Damn good video content right here
I'm glad you guys are like in it
SAR is a great career field!
Im an AWRC and we are undermanned. He has almost no chance. It's unfortunate, but I've lived what he is going through.
If he had done a year or two out in the real world working some bullshit menial labor job he would have made it. Interesting interview Mr. Zweig.
Love these id like to see you altérnate and have some of your guys that made it through come share.
I do have a couple
Bro, get that 6 back into BUD/S.... Dude just belongs there imo .... Perfect officer skills imo
Quit week two. Bummer. But Noah’s definitely someone who can learn from his experience and get through it if he gets a second chance.
Everything I did in the Marines and growing up wrestling over a decade prepared my mind for anything. Love it when you talk wrestlers and their mindsets
Poor Guy. After a few years in the fleet he would have had the maturity to handle the mental end.
Fleet to Buds is apparently difficult to pull off at the moment. I hope he makes it back.
Almost impossible
@@jakezweighave you ever had any stories of guys getting out the navy and then going back in the navy with an SO contract??
@@joshp146waste of time because if you don’t make it your in the navy again for another 4 years, you have to have outstanding pst times to get to buds from the fleet.
Anaerobic sustained power.
No shame in not making it. Learn from it and go find something you're good at that suits you. You'll be happier and more fulfilled in the long run.
Or, try again.
Just goes to show that you need to build up the mental toughness as well as the physical ability. Can't just have one or the other.
Mental is more important
💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Agreed with the other comments that this kid seems like he can earn his second shot - he knows where he failed, and if he decides that he wants it, he'll get it. I think he knows to keep his world small the next time around.
The beast is still the beast!
Great video, the water is warmer up here in La Jolla anyway. 🤣 🇺🇸✌🏽
and not full of TJ shit
@@jakezweig 🤣
29:50 i can relate to this how can you change your life style to make more discomfort
I don’t know any drug addicts with pastor friends. Get you some savage friends. BUD/S is a mirror it shows you who you are in that moment.
Hell yea, I guarantee u this guy has more fitness and desire than 99%. But only the top 1% get to make it.
Boil it down to age. I think he's got it with some years of maturity.
Love it old man. Bet you would STILL out perform me.
shit or die trying
😂 this guy looks like a young seal instructor patstone
Try again if you want,but do not feel bad man.....you made a good run.......👍
Yes sir
That mustache is pure aircrew
Took a lot of guts to tell this story.
Yesir courage 💪
day one sounds intense. I got a question do you think its better in buds to go 100% in all workouts or set a good pace and keep that pace?
Always pace yourself you aren’t winning any trophies at buds. Make the times don’t be first don’t be last.
90% rule
Yep gotta keep your world small.
Very
I didn't know they got weekends off in BUDS. I thought it was an everyday/all day thing. That's wild.

Army is different as long as you don't quite

It's free
Hey Jake is it possible you can interview an older Seal named Tony Green
I heard he retired from NCIS from my security officer
I don't interview SEALs really
Lol. A lot of words. What he basically said was: I wish I could be a ranger
What’s buds class? I’m assuming recent since he wore a mask. Respect either way
Not sure

So how that SEAL dream going?
I know you get really wired in a BUDS day to where it’s difficult to sleep because your in that sleep deprivation mode. Can you get melatonin to make yourself sleep?
Sleep is NEVER a problem you learn to sleep while doing shit, like carrying boats

I wonder how many Kat's just want to make it threw BUDs as apposed to becoming a Navy SEAL. BUDs is not an end all it's just the beginning.
Yup is kindergarten
If he didn’t make it at that level ( a much higher level than dudes who have made it) do you think he could ever grow into that mind set because he was lacking mental. Do you think you can train mental?

I wished I could call in..
Do it jake.zweig@gmail.com
What does all the code jargon mean? What is a "beating"?
Working out
3 to 4 hour collateral was an exxageration. Its like 1.5 hours.
Dude they have punched collaterals through the roof
I don’t think he wants to go back
this is one dude i think has a legit shot of making it if he gets another chance. some of the dudes in other interviews, no chance in fuck.
It's hard to get back
Absolutely right, surround yourself with like minded people only! Dont listen to those who moved on and didnt commit! Ignore that noise, persevere, drive forward, front sight, trigger squeeze!
PRESS THE EMENY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
26 min 4 mile???? Jeeze thats moving.
Yup I saw 12:10 3 mile by a Kenyon
The record at BUD/S is a sub 20:00

it is the same .... he did something like smoke weed or had a major injury or just got booted on bad conduct
@@jakezweig ah, that makes more sense. Thanks.
What's the silver bullet?
Anal temp taker
Rectal thermometer lmfao 🤣 good interview!
I felt for him, he would have been ok if his mind took proper control & made no outside contact. Not even go to town for anything. Suck it up
what about for a cheese burger
Stupid question ⁉️.... would you suggest people "practice" sleep deprivation b4 trying to enter buds?
Maybe?
